“…The time spent by school nurses on these activities seems to be different based on the grade of the students served. Gilman, Williamson, Nader, Dale, and McKevitt (1979) found that the school nurse spends significantly more time in direct contact with students as the school level increases ( p = .0001). While high school nurses spend much of their time obtaining health history directly from students and providing individual counseling and consultation, elementary school nurses spend more of their time talking with students’ parents and teachers and administering prescribed medications.…”

School nurses are tasked with the critical job of keeping students safe and well. Due to competing demands for resources in schools, the impact of school nurses must be demonstrated to secure their jobs. A systematic review of the literature from 1937 to 2013 was conducted to show the efficacy of school nursing activities in American elementary schools. While some studies of immunization compliance, attendance rates, body mass index screening, vision screening, and follow-up are promising, results are mixed and additional evidence is needed. The impact of school nurses on educational and health outcomes must continue to be evaluated and more rigorous evaluation methods should be explored. Suggestions for future research and collaborations are discussed.

Mental health programs which facilitate prevention and remediation within the school system are indicated by large numbers of children at risk for problems. Counseling, consultation and communication activities to promote mental health can readily be provided by school health personnel. Barriers to the development and implementation of a mental health program include problems in staffing and communication as well as a continued illness orientation of the health professional.
